Servs assists crew of sailboat

Petroleum News Alaska Staff

Alyeska Pipeline Service Co.’s Ship Escort/Response Vessel System assisted a 35-foot sailing vessel Feb. 26 after winds in excess of 100 knots broke the sailboat free from its anchor and set it adrift in Prince William Sound.

Alyeska said that the prevention and response tug Attentive, on sentinel duty in the vicinity, had notified the sailboat crew that they were drifting. Unable to move alongside the sailboat due to wind and sea conditions, the tug crew provided survival suits to the two-person sailboat crew who then abandoned their craft and were rescued by the Attentive’s crew.
